AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
An operations team manages several hundred EBS volumes used by production EC2 instances across multiple AWS accounts in AWS Organizations. They must take encrypted snapshots every night, retain them for 35 days, and generate centralized compliance reports that show backup status across all member accounts. The solution should require minimal custom code and support future backups of DynamoDB tables. Which approach meets these requirements?
Use AWS Systems Manager Automation documents to run nightly snapshot workflows, copy snapshots to a central vault with S3 Batch Operations, and record status in a custom DynamoDB table.
Configure Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager policies within each account to create nightly snapshots and retain them for 35 days, then aggregate results with AWS Config in a central account.
Deploy an EventBridge-triggered Lambda function in every account that calls CreateSnapshot for each volume and deletes snapshots older than 35 days.
Create an AWS Backup plan in the management account, enable AWS Organizations integration, assign the plan to tagged resources, and use the built-in compliance reports.
AWS Backup lets you build a backup plan that defines frequency, retention, and encryption for supported resources such as EBS volumes and DynamoDB tables. You can enable AWS Organizations integration to centrally apply the plan to resources in member accounts and to receive organization-wide backup compliance reports, eliminating the need for custom scripting. Data Lifecycle Manager supports only EBS and has no built-in cross-account compliance reporting. Lambda, EventBridge, and Systems Manager solutions would meet technical snapshot needs but require custom code and do not produce organization-level backup audit reports or support additional AWS services out of the box.
